The cover of "Dark Tide 1 Onslaught has a blurred image of a matalok, it looks like it would be extremely easy to model since it looks like a big blob basicly.
and could you give directions on how to get there from the main site because I can't find it
lol I just found the picture you got your avatar from

just do a search on that site for vong and see what comes up. that pic was the one that i got my av from, so yeah...its on the second page of the search.
none of these are from the same site, so hopefully they should work. found by just a simple google search.

do you have the essential guide to species? theres a pic in there as well as some of their technology. the new guide to characters has a couple of vong as well i believe.
additionally, theres a mod for homeworld 2 which adds some of their ships as well, you might look that up. i think its called warlords. or if this seriously takes off i'll install it (i have hw2) to get screenies and better ideas of how they should look. hw2 is just space though.
you can also look up the book covers for the rest of the njo series on an online book store. one of them has a pretty good pic of a female shapers face i believe.
you could also try a search on deviantart, i havent checked but there should be a couple of decent fanart pics there as well.

WARNING SPOILER
This is an excerpt from Force Heretic III: Reunion:
"Luke took a deep breath, and began. He started from the time the Yuuzhan Vong had first come to the attention of the New Republic on Belkadan, when Danni Quee had witnessed the launch of their invasion. The grim progression of the war was burned in his mind: from Sernpidal, where Chewbacca died, to Helska 4, Dubrillion, Destrillion, Dantooine, Bimmiel, Garqi, Ithor, Obroa-skai, Ord Mantell, Gyndine, Tynna, Fondor and its shipyards; Kalarba, Nal Hutta, Nar Shadaa, Sriluur, Druckenwell, Rodia, Falleen, Kubindi, Duro; the Jedi academy lost with Yavin 4, Ando, Myrkyr, where Anakin Solo fell, and Coruscant, the capital, where for a while all hope seemed lost. "
Some of these don't actually have a battle like Sernpidal but it is still a good overview of everywhere the Yuuzan Vong had been.
I have only read up to Dantooine, but maybe I will have them read by the time the mod tools are released

They look very much like its out of a NJO mod for X-Wing Alliance... one of those that didn't make it before the end.

did you know that the yuuzhang vong power there ships with black holes?
you'd think with that sort of power, they'd have crushed the galactic federation/new republic!
but of course tactic & intelligence provided them with the advantages to win.

technically, they power them with dovin basals, which can create the equivalent of miniature black holes to shield their ships...not to power them. they don't have a "traditional" power source becuase, well, they're alive.
& does anyone know of another mod including njo stuff thats actually been completed/released? the only one i know of is the one for hw2.
